Scandalously divorced from one Canadian prime minister, now proud mother of another, Margaret Trudeau looks back at the tragic spiral that led to her battle against bipolar disorder.
And, boy, how Margaret Trudeau had lived. By the late 1970s she was an international sensation, the Holly Golightly of the Mounties, the wayward wife who had left Canada’s dashing, intellectual prime minister, Pierre, and their three young sons to pursue a life of glitz and unbridled hedonism that was splashed on the pages of every international tabloid. She had met O’Neal at Studio 54 , where she was a regular , and where she once memorably sat on a patron’s birthday cake.
“When I became a dad, 10 years ago, I remember asking my mom what the secret was to being a great parent,” Justin Trudeau recounts today. “‘Love,’ she said. ‘Before and above all else, be filled with love for your children, no matter what the circumstances.’ But long before she ever told me that, she showed me that, all through my life.” Even as Margaret found stability in raising a family, the social and political pressures triggered downward spirals.
